We are a grassroots organization dedicated to educating our communities on a way to assert our sovereign rights to local self-governance. We believe we have the right to decide what happens to our natural environment and ecosystems and not some distant corporation.

Our Community Rights Ordinance (see tab above), first and foremost, is intended to return power from the federal, state and corporate level to the Citizenry of Mendocino County. This ordinance makes it illegal in Mendocino County for any entity to engage in fracking and contains within it serious enforcement penalties. This ordinance begins the crucial process of giving citizens control over their community’s essentials: water quality, power, food, and local resources. As each community passes these community ordinances, one by one, we the People, gain power to decide, yes or no, when a corporation proposes devastating tactics like fracking.
